Augrented Insights Report for 227 East 5th Street

227 East 5th Street is a 5-story, 22-unit residential building located in Manhattan's East Village, built in 1967 and currently owned by Harry Blaustein. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding lack of heat/hot water in the entire building.

The most recent complaint in March 2025 indicated a heavy water leak, though this was reportedly corrected following HPD's intervention. The building's heating system has faced scrutiny, with violations noted in January 2024 regarding inadequate heat supply and access to the heating system, though some of these violations were later certified as corrected. The property has a somewhat concerning pattern of maintenance issues, including multiple violations between 2019-2021 affecting apartment 3FW, such as problems with plaster surfaces, paint conditions, and a non-compliant double cylinder lock.

Fire safety was addressed in 2021 when violations regarding fire escape access were resolved. Recent rodent inspections show a mixed record, with rat activity noted in 2023-2024, though the most recent inspection in April 2025 passed. Notably, the building has maintained an excellent track record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in the last eight annual filings from 2018 through 2025.
